It is not good to have a dark swimming pool at night. And there must be lights to light it up. Once the lights are on, the swimming pool immediately has a romantic atmosphere. There are many swimming pool lights on the market, but LED neon strips are becoming more and more popular. IP68 LED neon flex can illuminate the outline of the swimming pool lights, and it can use in underwater.
Can IP68 LED Flex Neon Be Used for Swimming Pool Lights?
For special lighting applications in swimming pools, we first recommend IP68 silicone LED neon strips. Among them top bend neon strip 16*16 model is particularly suitable, and it has the following core advantages:

Front-lighting
The front-lighting structure design ensures that the entire swimming pool area can obtain soft and uniform lighting effects. Thus completely avoiding the glare problem caused by traditional point light sources.
DC24V low-voltage power supply
Specifically, the IP68 neon tube operates on a safe 24V low voltage. And the DC24V low-voltage power supply system therefore, greatly improves the safety of use.
Even in a humid swimming pool environment, the low-voltage design can effectively minimise the risk of electric shock. Thereby providing users with more reliable safety protection.
Brightness
This IP68 neon tube swimming pool lights has a power of 10 watts per meter. It can provide sufficient lighting brightness to meet the needs of swimming pool use. And most of it is used for atmosphere lighting.
Waterproof performance
This IP68 1616 neon tube has passed the IP68 certification test. It can work stably for a long time at a depth of 3 meters underwater.
And the fully sealed silicone potting process is used to ensure that the internal circuit of the lamp body is completely isolated from water and moisture erosion. Whether it is shallow water or deep water, it can be competent.
Installation flexibility
The installation flexibility of IP68 swimming pool LED flexible neon strips far exceeds that of traditional swimming pool lights. The bendable front feature can perfectly fit the various curved shapes of the swimming pool. Whether it is a round edge or a complex waterscape.
When installing, just use the special mounting clip to fix it, which greatly reduces the difficulty and cost of construction.
Color selection
- Single color: 2700K/3000K/4000K/6000K optional
- Dual color: 2700K-6500K color temperature stepless adjustment
- RGB: 16 million colors dynamically changing
- RGBW: pure white LED added on the basis of RGB, more accurate color
In addition, our IP68 silicone light strip has excellent resistance to UV, salt spray and chlorine corrosion, and is very suitable for long-term exposure to a swimming pool environment. How to choose the swimming pool neon strip, pls check How to Choose LED Neon Flex Lights for Swimming Pool?
Where can LED Neon Flex Be Installed In Swimming Pool Lights?

Underwater lighting
Underwater lighting is the core application of LED flexible waterproof neon strips in swimming pools. It can be directly installed on underwater areas such as pool walls, pool bottoms or steps to achieve soft lighting within 3 meters underwater.
It not only provides basic lighting, but also outlines the outline of the swimming pool with uniform and soft light
Swimming pool step edge
IP68 neon tubes can be installed at the junction of the vertical and horizontal surfaces of each step underwater in the swimming pool and embedded with light strips. It can clearly mark the boundary of the steps to prevent the danger of stepping into the air when used at night.
It is recommended to choose white light with high color rendering or eye-catching blue light to ensure that it is bright enough without causing glare.
Lounger area
Near the swimming pool, we can consider installing IP68 neon tubes along the bottom outline of the lounge chairs and the parasol columns.
A color temperature of about 3000K is used to create a warm and relaxing resting environment, while providing moderate functional lighting to facilitate users to place items or find seats.
Pool railings and handrails
Designers usually embed the IP68 neon flex in the bottom of the railing or along the side of the handrail in a hidden way. This approach not only maintains the overall simple appearance but also provides the necessary guiding lighting.

Around the swimming pool
Cleverly arranging IP68 light strips around the contours of the swimming pool, waterscape devices, green plants, and other areas helps extend the visual sense of space.
We recommend using RGBW color-changing light strips to match the themes of different seasons or occasions and to create a rich and dynamic night landscape effect.
Conclusion
IP68 LED flex neon strip can be used for swimming pool lights and can be used 3 meters underwater. Its low voltage safety, energy saving and high efficiency, rich colors and installation flexibility make it a very good choice for swimming pool lighting.
If you are looking for LED neon strips for swimming pools, we recommend the T1616 IP68 silicone strips, which support RGB and RGBW solutions.
